Surahs Al-Nas, Saba, and Yasin are all classified as Makki Surahs, meaning they were revealed before the Prophet Muhammad’s (ﷺ) migration to Madinah. The classification of Makki and Madani Surahs is based not on geography, but on the timeline of revelation. Surahs revealed before Hijrah (migration to Madinah) are termed Makki, while those after are Madani.
These Makki Surahs mainly focus on the fundamentals of faith such as the Oneness of Allah (Tawheed), the Day of Judgment, reward and punishment, and the stories of previous Prophets. Their style is often shorter in verses, rhythmic, and powerful in tone. The early Makkan period was a time of introducing Islam and warning the polytheists of consequences, so these Surahs served as spiritual foundations.
Surah Al-Nas emphasizes seeking refuge in Allah from evil whispers, Surah Yasin is known as the "heart of the Quran" and speaks about resurrection and prophethood, while Surah Saba covers the story of the people of Sheba and divine signs.
